Discussion topics- Media reserves update; Priority 1 slips

Announcements

The statistics required for the mid-year report were compiled and submitted to Judy. We will however attempt to
devise a more effective and efficient way of maintaining statistics for reserve items and considers this a group
goal.

The exception reports should be available soon. When they have been run, Penny will distribute to the units.

Discussion topics:

Media reserve update

Zohreh reported the new processes are going smoothly. Alexander library currently has three viewing stations for
videos and DVDs in the library. Furthermore, there are approximately 10 DVD/videos currently on reserve. Prompted
by the need at Alexander for patron's to borrow headphones to view media at workstations in the public areas, Zohreh also noted that a small task force has been formed to work on Brief Record creation in order to record
when equipment, such as head phones or notebooks requires being charged to a user.

Jill and Joe reported that there are also three viewing stations at the Kilmer library, and that there are
approximately 10 DVD/videos on reserve.

Both units have received positive feedback from students on the availability of media reserves.

Priority 1 slips

It was brought to the group's attention that the priority 1 slips that are included in new books do not indicate
the information placed in the "reserve course number" field. This can be problematic in matching the new book to
the course and instructor. However, Zohreh mentioned that there is a "Display Order" option in Workflows which
alleviates this problem.

Removal of Reserve brief records for fall/winter sessions was discussed by the group and the group agreed that
the mid-February date for removal is less than ideal. After discussion, the group decided to return to the date
of January 31 for future removal. Penny will forward this request Judy for approval and to Systems.
